From Controversial to Memorable: 40 Iconic Moments in Talk Show History
Jerry Lawler Slaps Andy Kaufman
Like Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel, Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler also enjoyed some media attention with their supposed ‘feud.’ It all came to a head when they faced off in the wrestling ring in 1982 before their appearance on “Late Night with David Letterman.”
Things got off to a rocky start when Kaufman showed up in a neck brace from a supposed injury from an accident during their fight. He then went on to demand an apology from Lawler and as things got heated, Lawler ended up slapping Kaufman so hard that the latter fell from his chair as a result.
